More on AutoQuotes

[TBaehr@xxxxxxxx]

Sometimes you can't get everything you want. In a previous post,
I shared some programs that allow you to get "curly" quotes,
em-dashes, and ligatured letters with 'f' as you type. The only
drawback, I discovered later, is that the double quote, hyphen,
and lowercase 'f' can't be typed into dialog boxes
-- even when the feature wasn't activated. The problem is in how
dialog boxes interact with the keyboard file. I had to modify
the keyboard file to get the programs to run, and dialog boxes
won't respond to programs in their text-entry boxes.

Sigh. The fix is to have the keyboard file produce the character
first and then run a program. I have fixed the quotes program,
but the dash program and the ligatured-f program proved to be
beyond me. Because a sequence of hyphens and a sequence of f's
are likely, I couldn't keep the programs from running themselves.

The upshot of all this is that I have, in addition to fixing the
quotes program, limited the ligatured-f program to sequences of
fi and fl and eliminated the dash program altogether. If you
want to be able to produce an em-dash from a single key, you can
put ASCII 260 on the hyphen key (12) in the CTRL+SHIFT table
(which should be available). You can also put ASCII 259
(the en-dash) on the equal key (13) in the CTRL+SHIFT table.

As before, the programs are designed to run if you are in
autocheck or autoreplace.

So, here's an xx-encoded file that you can download to XyWrite,
delete the stuff before and after the lines with CUT HERE, save
the result to
TYPING2.SCR, and reconstitute by typing, at the DOS command line,
DEBUG <
TYPING2.SCR.

You'll create TYPING2.ZIP, which will unzip to QUOTE2.PGM,
EFF2.PGM, and a
README with a couple lines to put into your startup file and
instructions on how to modify the keyboard file.
